March 29--A Day to Chill

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.  --Carl Jung

    Today was Nyepi, Balinese day of silence. Things were pretty much as usual on the resort property, except we were not allowed onto the beach or outside the resort. It would have been lovely to see the streets of the town without the usual insane traffic. We had a nice time lounging and reading outside, just up from the beach. Our whole group dined together at the Italian restaurant on the resort property. All outdoor lights are shut off, so we had to return to our rooms by flashlight. Unfortunately it is cloudy and rainy so we can't see the stars. 

    Tomorrow we head to Ubud and away from the ocean. I shall sorely miss the crashing waves.
